Manual Radials easily convert to power. They don't require an adapter plate, and the identical stud pattern means no filling old holes and drilling new ones. Boatbuilders can make upgrades even easier by precutting and sealing a 3.00 in (7.6 cm) drive-shaft hole into the boat.

Winches can be mounted vertically or horizontally and operate using waterproof switches located near the winch. A locking handle inserted into an unloaded winch automatically disconnects the motor gear for manual operation.
